    Thanks guys for all the great feedback.  I'm trying to keep it up to all of your standards!  6-pack, I need to know what size tires you put on that bad azz black Cuda of yours.  I love the 15x8 & 15x7 magnums on that bad boy. 

    Vin B, I will have to get the details from the body shop for you but I agree they hit it perfect.  I know he told me but it was on the day I was picking her up and I was so excited to be bringing it home that I spaced the details off.

    Got my new gas tank & sender installed tonight! :woohoo:  Now it's ready for the rear valance w/cutouts to be installed probably this weekend.  Ordering some engine parts this week as well.  Ordered a Lun-60304 Lunati .513/.533 lift 276/284 duration 3 bolt hydraulic flat tappet cam for the 512 stroker. :burnout:


    I put a 512 motor together in my dyno program how I think that you would build yours and came up with this.  I used the cam specs above, the shortblock, and cylinder head specs from 440source.com, 10:1 compression, put a production water pump on the motor and a clutch fan, 2" primary headers, 3" exhaust, single plane race style intake, 950 mechanical secondary carb.  It made 672 ft lbs and 621 HP

    Here is a pic of the graph.   :bigsmile:

    Talked to 440source today and my Stealth heads are being shipped!  Should be able to take my engine to my builder sometime next week!  Cam is supposed to be here around the 10th of March. :bigsmile:

    Got my rear valance put in place, still need to do some tweaking to make it fit better.  Also got all my body plugs in and carpet in place, rear seat in and all seat belts bolted in.  Also my 440source heads arrived!  Will get the engine to my builder yet this week for him to get started.  Included some pics of the heads & intake sitting on the block to get an idea how this monster will look.  I hope this thing fits under my rallye hood.   :burnout:

    Hey Husky,

    The Barracuda is looking sweet..............

    The engine is going to be killer.  What plans have you got with color for the engine buddy. :2thumbs:

    What about the heads and intake, will they get paint and what valve covers and air cleaner are you running. :chatting:

    I think I will leave the heads & intake aluminum.  Probably Mopar performance polished aluminum valve covers if they will clear my roller rockers and would like to use a oval 6-pack style air cleaner.  What do you think?
